How do you like to use them?

I'm seriously considering adding a stereo pair because at it's most accurate, my speakers just don't reach down that far and sound rather lean. Now this is usually the case with a good setup and I'm not trying to "trick out" the sound so to speak. I want to add that punchiness and presence in the Bass that the MDR-7506 headphones put out.

I'm really in the dark on subs, so I really have no idea how to implement them on various setups. How do subs and tubes sound together?

The reason is that I have always liked working in two channels through headphones or monitors on the professional end. I think it's time to hype the bass a bit, but accurately as if the limitations of 3-way speakers disappeared in that regard. You might not be able to seriously mix an album that way, but music should be fun too dammit. After it is perfect you can do whatever you want in my opinion.

I'm working with a 35-40Khz range. I have yet to measure how the speakers respond with the bass rolloff with a mic. I assume there is little treble rolloff considering the specs and the overall crispness to the sounds as compared to the headphones. The headphones are a little less bright.

I think I would place them on the floor a foot behind the speakers and off the side more. Maybe only 12 inches away from the back walls.
